• Form OP-820 shall be verified by the income recipient, final beneficiary and by the competent authority of the Contracting State which is entitled to income taxation. If the competent authority of the State – which is income recipient, is not able to verify the Form OP-820, the taxpayer is obliged to obtain the residence certificate issued by competent authority of the State – income recipient, but not older than one year and submit it to the competent Tax Authority of FBiH, together with the Form OP-820;
